Love Strategy: CEO He is Really Scheming！

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: What if that person and the Seys Family join forces...

Laura Pinley sighed, ”Originally, I thought the heir of the Seys Family would surely attend Virtue High School, the prestigious school in City C. We went to great lengths to secure a spot there, with the hope that Scarlett could prove herself in front of the Seys Family heir. Ideally, we wanted Scarlett to become the Young Madam of the Seys Family. Who could have known that fate would be so unpredictable? The Seys Family’s heir, Arlo Seys, surprisingly chose to attend Scenic Hill High School and was captivated by Ariel Morris. I never imagined she would have such luck. However, thankfully, Arlo Seys also took a liking to her, which is certainly better than him liking someone else. The Morris Clan is in a crisis, and given this relationship, Arlo Seys surely can’t refuse us, right?”

Damien Morris was silent for a long time before slowly speaking, ”The Seys Family heir has taken a liking to her... If that day comes, when he comes to our door, with the Seys Family and him joining forces, our Morris Family might be----”

”No, it won’t happen!” Laura Pinley’s voice carried a hint of panic, ”So many years have passed without any reaction from him; surely he’s uninformed! He won’t come knocking at our door! Besides, we still have Kylie backing us up; what kind of storm could a man in his twenties possibly stir?”

Damien Morris sighed, ”That young boy back then has grown into an undeniable force. Cherry Morris’ child has been blessed with such fortune; perhaps one day we’ll inevitably pay the price for what happened in the past.”

”No, don’t scare yourself like that!”

....

Outside the door, Ariel Morris felt her entire body go cold, turning her heart numb with coldness.

She had always known her parents treated her differently from Scarlett, and she understood this. After all, Scarlett was their biological child, while she was not. So from a young age, she was as obedient as possible, never causing her parents any trouble.

She was grateful to the Morris Family because they had raised her. Without the Morris Family, there would be no Ariel Morris today. In her heart, she truly regarded her adoptive parents as her real parents, and the gratitude for their nurturing was eternally etched in her heart.

But she couldn’t fathom that her parents would want to use her to make a move on Arlo Seys.....

Her love for Arlo Seys is pure and untainted by any impurities, but her parents want to use her relationship with Arlo to make a move on the Seys Family.

Ariel Morris returned to her room in a daze, closed the door, and burrowed into the bed, wrapping herself in a thick cotton quilt.

She thought it would warm her up, but found that her icy hands and feet showed no improvement and instead grew increasingly colder. The intensifying cold exacerbated the pain in her lower abdomen, causing Ariel Morris to writhe in pain beneath the covers, her lips turning pale.

She clutched her lower abdomen, recalling the happy moments she spent with Arlo Seys, remembering her parents’ words just now, and tears silently streamed down, fiercely overwhelming her.

Laura Pinley and Damien Morris descended the stairs.

Jade was setting the tableware and saw the two coming downstairs, ”President Morris, Madam, dinner is ready.”

Laura Pinley nodded.

Jade suddenly remembered what the young lady had said and immediately added, ”The young lady took leave and returned home; she’s not feeling well and went to her room to sleep. She said not to call her for dinner.”

Laura Pinley and Damien Morris both paused in their steps simultaneously, looked at each other, and immediately understood what the other was thinking.

Ariel Morris watched Jade, her expression somewhat serious, her tone slightly panicked, ”Jade, when did the young lady come back?”

Jade replied without thinking, ”She just returned not long ago, went straight upstairs after getting home, her face looked a bit pale, probably her stomach was hurting badly.”

Laura Pinley tried hard to maintain elegance and composure, giving Damien Morris a look and smiling, ”Ariel’s not feeling well? I’ll go check on her, Damien, you go ahead and eat.”
